Terry,
The 4.3 on this model get a bit touchy at this age. Multiple wiring issues, possible throttle failure. When removing the ground wire, the throttle must relearn the sweep. Sounds like you have issues with either the TPS or governor. Also, 4.3 are known for failed spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Completing a tune up will go along ways. Good luck.
